I dont know what my Favorite is. It always was the OF 1010 with the TS55 right behind it
Interestingly it may become my Trion.
As some of you may know I am now a Licensed Lead Abatement Supervisor.
When removing windows from the outside you must use hand tools to pry the old outside stop now this is often a 1x4 that is covered by another 1xS and prying them usually means breaking them out. This is the approved method in the guidelines. (in an abatement you want to remove windows from the outside because if you seal the window from the inside and remove from the out you are not required to do wipe samples to pass clearance as the work area is outside the house. [big grin] this saves like 2 hours in prep and clean and $150 if you would fail and need to retest per room.
BUT One of the things that I am responsible for and Authorized to do , is implement other methods of work and test them to fall within OSHA guidelines for lead dust in the work environment. It is a detailed process involving air-sampling equipment and labs..... well the HUD guidelines Refer to a "HEPA SAW" with drawing that Looks alot like a Trion. So with the Wap HEPA , the front shroud and splinter guard in place and using a deep gulleted 6 tpi blade and spraying down the work area Window frame with "Mop n glow" prior to deconstruction I conducted a air sample work process evaluation today. I think I will pass the air sample test. then We can use the trion like a clean room sawzall [eek]
I am required to keep the data from this test to show the state lead inspector, HUD, EPA, or OSHA if/ when they visit my site and ask why i am using a power saw [big grin]. I will let you all know more when I get the results back.
So the Trion may be my new best friend.
